Praxis 2007 Alexander Valley Dry Syrah Rosé
Amazingly, the 2007 Rosé is Bill’s first stab at this category in more than 20 years. His only goal: Make a quaffable, dry rosé in the style that might be found in Provence. With a twist, that is. This rosé is a red wine drinker's pink wine. Meaning that it has far more wine-y attributes than you generally see in the category.
There are a few reasons for this. First and foremost, it's made of 100% syrah, a grape that can be grown in many places under many different growing conditions. That said, syrah doesn't make frivolous reds (or pinks). It's just not in the grape's DNA. So, what Bill was left with was real fruit for a real wine, one that just happens to be off-red in color.
The second crucial factor is that the wine doesn't undergo malolactic fermentation. This secondary fermentation (that is, second to the initial alcoholic fermentation in which yeast interacts with grape sugars and converts them to alcohol) is discussed throughout this website. The short version is that by not allowing the rudimentary wine to go through malo (the shorthand reference), it retains a sprightly freshness that it might have lost otherwise. This results in a zingy rosé with real wine-like character.
Bill would probably read this, and say, "Just shut up and drink it." Agreed.
WINE PROFILE:
Fresh and very clean combination of citrus and tropical fruit notes with a vivacious finish. Tasty and light enough to drink as an aperitif, it’s also an ideal match for spicy dishes, from Asian-inspired to barbecue.
